Steel Building Assembly

When it comes to steel building assembly, no other company offers easier instructions. Your Powerbilt metal building or steel home is shipped from the factory with an easy to follow steel building assembly manual. When your steel building arrives, it would be helpful to unload and lay out the different components in their order of assembly, and be sure to check all parts against the shipping invoice to confirm that you have received everything that you need for your steel building assembly.

Next, slide the assembled steel arches into the foundation trough and raise to an upright position. If you are assembling and erecting half arches, basic supports or scaffolding will hold them in place and speed up the erection process.

Continue progressively raising and joining the arches together to form your steel home. Precision engineering ensures that the arches will fit snugly together. If you are working with half arches, you can lap and bolt them together to create a full arch.
